It's been FOREVER. I was about to bag the whole blog thing, but then I remembered how very upset I get when my dear friends go months and months without up-dating me on their entertaining lives through their blog. I guess as a mom who has kids around her ankles screaming for something at all hours of the day the blog world is my one easy way to stay in touch with the people that mean so much to me. So even though I've been off my game, I'm not quite ready to bag it.

That said, things are really good in our neck of the woods. Awh, all the stories I could tell of raising boys...but I'm so far behind I'll stick to the basics. Parky turned 2. Oh dreaded day. :)We had a race car birthday for him and he got his very first hair cut. He's developed a new addiction over the last few months. I have NO idea where he gets this problem from. One day I found him hiding in the pantry eating chocolate chips that he'd climbed three shelves to retrieve. {Maybe he saw me the day I was desperately searching the pantry for the Reese's Bryan had hid from me...} Another day I made cookies for a swim party. I left the first batch on the cooling rack and when I came back from helping Caden with something every single cookie had been ingested by my two year old.
Caden graduated to Sunbeams at church. He was excited. When we went to pick Parker up from nursery Caden announced that he was way too old to be in this class. When I asked his teacher how he did his first day she started laughing. Always a good sign. She then told me that she spent 5 minutes explaining to the class that we are Heavenly Father's children and created in his image. Caden raised his hand after taking that in and says, "No we aren't! My mom has showed me pictures of him, and he's old and has white hair!"
The weather here has been to die for. While we were driving to the park yesterday Caden asked me when summer would end. I told him this was a California winter and he was very confused. We got the boys scooters for Christmas which has been the best investment ever. Both of them picked it up pretty easily and now they go outside and ride around every day. Everything pregnancy related is good. Little man's ultrasound came back great. I definitely feel older this time around. Its the first pregnancy that I actually have a hard time, oh you know, getting off the floor when I sit down. I'm not sure who said that 30 is the new 20 but clearly they were not talking about the body in regards to pregnancy. I feel more like what I imagine 70 to feel like.

Okay and lastly, I have to post this. A friend posted a link to this article. I took the time to actually read it. I laughed a lot, and felt much better about myself as a mother afterwards. So to all my mommy friends out there I hope you are enjoying EVERY SINGLE MOMENT like we are here at our crazy house! ;) Xoxo.
